Calli Learns How a Kazoo Works | Hololive EN Fan Animation

[@CKSalamander]

P.S. While I do have plans to create at least one more of these Hololive animations in the future, if anyone knows any other good moments/clips (or I just stumble across any), I'll definitely consider animating them. :)

Classic Yubi Yubi Scene with Korone?

This is one of my favorite Calli moments. It's not often you get to see a grown woman learn how to use a children's toy for the first time in her life.

@@iaincowell9747 i would argue that a kazoo has the same status of a melodica.. they are instruments but at the same time marketed as "toys", i even got a free kazoo from a childrens book for no reason back in ze days, and no the book is not a music book it was a book wherein the pages are puuzzles i would say it would depend on the quality of the said item

[@brendan-kfp7.62mmminigun4]

I like how there's a other 3 kazoo in the bookshelf. Like, she just kept buying them, one after another, hoping the next one would work.

This was animated so well. The expressions on smol Cali perfectly matched the crazy mood swings that the reaper is known for. You've got a virtual gold mine of Holomyth shenanigans worth animating, if you choose to go that route.

[@KraftLawrence1]

God, i remember catching this live and just being amazed that someone, especially a musician, didnt know how to operate a kazoo.

[@SoraRaida]

well tbf, the kazoo is not a typical music instrument, and I'm sure a lot of musicians out there also don't, because it's different.

[@darkjackl999]

as someone that played music in school until highschool can confirm, i always tried to play them backwards because nearly every other goddamn instrument is blow small hole sound big hole

[@Warchief-te9jj]
